Abstract

Oxidation behaviors of in situ formed TiCx/high chromium white iron (TiCx/HCWI) composite containing trace alloying elements with super hardness were investigated in air at 650 °C and 700 °C for 96 h, respectively. Rich types of oxides appeared on the oxidized surfaces of the TiCx/HCWI composite both at 650 °C and 700 °C. While, MoO3 appeared on the surface only at 650 °C, FeV2O4 turned up only at 700 °C. The various oxides were enriched in diverse regions inside and outside the oxide layer at 700 °C due to the discrepancy of oxidation thermodynamics and oxidation partial pressure. Oxidation thermodynamics, kinetics, and oxidation mechanisms of the TiCx/HCWI composite were discussed. The present work provides enlightenment for the application of the super hard TiCx/HCWI.
